Sunday Night: Macaroni and Cheese

Yesterday started off as a rainy fall Sunday, and that gave me a powerful craving for macaroni and cheese. The rain went away, but my craving did not; so last night we had comfort food.

I used about 400g of elbow macaroni and 100g of cubed smoked ham along with a sauce made from 2Tbs flour, 2 Tbs butter, 1 c milk, 150g quark, 200 g Gruyere, white and black pepper, and cayenne. I topped the casserole with a mixture of grated Gruyere, breadcrumbs (paniermehl), and olive oil.

In addition to this very very good version of mac and cheese, we had a green salad.

Nothing else was required. :-)
